Simulation-Based Training for Ultrasound-Guided Perineural Catheter Insertion
This study will determine the efficacy of a teaching program incorporating hybrid simulation in training practicing anesthesiologists on ultrasound (US)-guided continuous peripheral nerve block (CPNB).
This study will also examine the extent of practice change following participation in a regional anesthesia teaching program incorporating hybrid simulation. In addition, this study will assess remaining obstacles to incorporating the use of US-guided perineural catheters through identifying potential future interventions and "tool-kits" for setting up perineural catheter programs.
Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Anesthesiologists in practice ten years or more; active board certification (American
Board of Anesthesiologists); active license to practice medicine in California; and
willingness to spend one full day (8 hours) participating in the standardized workshop
and undergo interval survey and interview follow-up for one year.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Formal training (e.g., post-graduate fellowship) in regional anesthesia; current
practice includes the routine performance of US-guided PNB (≥10 blocks per month); or
visual, hearing, or other communication impairment that would interfere with video
recording or require substantial deviation from the standardized teaching curriculum.
